GardenHaus | Linden Thorley Architects

With glimpses of the ocean from the existing front deck, a first-floor addition afforded a vista down the street towards the ocean and connection to the sky. The result is a modern, light filled, energy efficient residence suitable for a young family with an open beach house feel. The new addition seamlessly fits into its surroundings as a contemporary interpretation of the pitched gable roof forms of the street.

Key components of the client brief were strong sustainability ambitions centred around modest scale, a bigger garden, enjoyment of the coastal location and energy efficiency. The building is designed to the Passivhaus EnerPHIT standard for retrofit projects, ensuring 90% less energy consumption to achieve year-round ideal thermal comfort and excellent air quality.
